About this collection
Because I personally oversee the construction of every sherwani, I insist on at least two rounds of fittings. This ensures that the structured fusing and shoulder drape sit perfectly on your frame, creating a sharp silhouette that lasts throughout the ceremony.
My approach to menswear is centered on the idea that an outfit should be a wearable memory. I primarily work with high-quality materials like heavy-weight Paitani silk, which provides a stiff, royal fall that holds embroidery exceptionally well. For those who want to honor their South Indian roots, I often incorporate traditional motifs—like peacocks and temple borders—into the sherwani or dhoti ensemble, using Zardosi or Aari work to add depth.
For more contemporary occasions, I experiment with different constructions. We can move away from the traditional heavy sherwani towards a structured Prince Coat or a modern Bandhgala. These pieces use rigid fusing to maintain a crisp, formal shape, making them ideal for receptions or engagement parties. I also enjoy blending palettes; moving from classic off-white and gold to unexpected tones like lavender or pastel shades can completely change the energy of the look.
Every piece begins with a conversation about your style preferences and the venue. Whether you are looking for a classic silk dhoti kurta or a modern tuxedo with embroidered lapels, my goal is to create a garment that feels like you. Since each item is bespoke, I recommend starting this process early to allow sufficient time for fabric selection, embroidery, and the necessary fitting rounds to get the proportions exactly right.
